Wondering what you are doing stuck in the same routine day after day after day? Well not all is lost as you are already at the first step of heading in the right direction since you are reading this…

It starts with realizing our current state which in this case is Scito te ipsum (Latin)  or in a more pleasant lingo know thyself! Knowledge is power right? and so if we do not know ourselves would it be safe to say then that we do not have power over ourselves? I take it that statement is a little bit too close to home, however the good news is we know that we don’t know so let’s take it up from therewith these 4 simple steps.

1. Mirror mirror on the wall

A self-examination would be appropriate at this stage,this will allow you to capture all the scars,hairy nostrils and  unsymmetrical facial organ positioning.No!

How you feel?
What you are working on?
What you get up for In the morning?
The last thing on your mind before dozing off?
The first thing on your mind as you wake up?
Where you will be a year from now at the rate you are going now?
What you like most about yourself?
What are you good at?
What makes you laugh?
What makes you cry?..yes men can technically produce tears as well
What you would like to change about the world?

Answer these questions honestly and you will have yourself a mirror in which you can look into and see if you are about to walk out into the street with a piece of cabbage sticking out of your teeth when you smile, wouldn’t you want to know?I sure would.

2.Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

Okay  so things may not look too good  and it is time to pick up the pieces and see how they best fit in with our lives.When you tear something down and start to build it up from scratch it makes things a lot easier you have a clear picture of what structure you want to see put up and it spares you the trouble of having to work around existing structures…
This is just your current state it does not define who you are. It’s like an iPhone with a cracked screen,that’s it’s current state not meaning that every iPhone comes with a cracked screen it just needs to be fixed and yes it’s still an iPhone.
You would need to answer the following questions to assess the damage:
